Love ain’t something you just say. Just this word. It’s something you do.A twenty-first-century love story. Caneze meets Sully in the college canteen. The heat rises over triple chilli sauce in Nando’s. She makes her move in the sweet smoke of a shisha bar. A touchpaper is lit . . . but neither of them bargained on the lengths to which her brother would go to keep them apart. Blood is a heartfelt play by Emteaz Hussain, the writer of Tamasha’s Sweet Cider. It received its world premiere in a production by Tamasha Theatre company in March 2015.
